I don't like wild cards. And I don't like the DH. The presence of the P in the lineup was an important part of the WS games.

I don't like the DH either.
But I like the wild card. You can't tell me that the Yankees and Red Sox fans were less invested in the outcome of the AL East than they would have been without the wild card. And I don't think your victory is tainted at all.
And you have to admit, some of the best playoff series have been because of the wild card. Besides, you should be for it because it allows smaller market teams a better chance at making it to the Series. Boston, Oakland, Houston or Minnesota or whoever can get hot at the right time and they can take out anybody.
